Splunk Success Framework

Get ready to implement Splunk like a pro with the Splunk Success Framework (SSF)! Using the SSF helps you and your team unlock the full potential of your data, increase the value you get from Splunk, and help you to scale your deployment flexibly as you grow.

The SSF contains guidance from Splunk experts on the best ways to implement Splunk. Whether you have Splunk Cloud Platform or an on-premises Splunk Enterprise deployment, the SSF contains best practices that you can use to create and maintain a smoothly-running Splunk implementation.

If you're new to the SSF, we recommend you begin by exploring the Fundamentals to understand the basic elements we recommend that you have in place to ensure success from the start. Or, you can jump to the guidance in any of the other functional areas by clicking a link below.

After you have the Splunk platform running in your organization, it's time to go further. The Splunk Outcome Paths below are designed to drive you toward your desired business and technical outcomes. Each of the four prescriptive outcomes offers three distinct pathways to achieve that outcome, and within each pathway are multiple strategies. Work through the strategies in the order that makes the most sense for your business, based on strategies you have already implemented or what your priorities are.
